They are also banning sites

If what you say is true then that would mean that instead of trying to develop a search engine that brings back the highest quality results based on an algo that is truly superior to Google, they would be intending to follow Google's example and start punishing sites OUT of their database, which of course will mean even less of an index from which to find the best possible results. I really hope that is not the case -- the web needs a viable alternative to Google, not a pale imitation.
